Last night for dinner I used a product from Patti Labelle's Lady Marmalade line... Apple Cider Marinade... and it was delicious!!!

Here is how simple it was:

1 pound boneless/skinless chicken breast
1 jar of marinade
AND THAT IS IT!!!!

24 hours before I was planning on making the chicken, I threw the chicken in a zip lock back with the marinade and refrigeratred it. Then when it was time to make it, I just threw the chicken in the oven at 350 degress until it was cooked throughout (covered). You could also throw the chicken on the grill as well.

This marinade is very good and has a fun/interesting flavor... it has a vinegar base which you can definitely taste, a little kick and a wonderful taste! The chicken was delicious and you could taste the marinade throughout the chicken which I loved.

Stop by Lancaster Central Market and grab a jar for your next cookout or when you need a quick and easy dinner.

Amish Hot Bacon Salad is one of my grandma’s staple foods at all family get-togethers. It never fails that she has this salad on the table, ready for all to indulge!

 

It is a favorite of my entire family! She of course makes her own Hot Bacon Dressing; however, Naomi’s  Bacon Dressing tastes just like grandma’s. I honestly could not believe how similar they were the first time I had Naomi’s.

 

If you’re going to try this, it is super easy! All my grandma does is cut up some fresh lettuce and then slices hardboiled egg on top. Then you simply pour the Bacon Dressing over the salad and there you have it! It couldn’t get any easier or better tasting!  

 

Side note: I was talking to a gentleman at market last week and he told me he has a friend who is a Cardiologist in Lancaster and it is because of things like Naomi’s Bacon Dressing that he makes a living… and my response… we never claimed this was healthy for you, only VERY tasty!   J  Both he and I had a good laugh about this and it made us realize why we love Lancaster County so much – good food!

There was quite a bit of discussion on our Facebook page last week about our Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce so I thought I would blog about it this morning. This Amish BBQ Sauce seems to be quite a hit with our customers.

 

If you haven’t tried it, most people like it because of its sweet raspberry taste and then of course the slight kick of chipotle! We like to use it on our chicken and pork but you can pretty much put it on anything…

 

Someone at market on Friday told me they pour it over cream cheese. Of course I thought they were thinking of our Amish Red Pepper Jam but she said that they do that too, but the Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce on cream cheese is just as good.

 

We love learning new ideas on how to use our products from our customers – stop by market, check us out on Facebook or shoot us an email with anything you would like to share!

 

We know what you’re thinking… ok so where can I buy this stuff? Well right now you have to come visit us at Lancaster Central Market because we do not have our BBQ sauces on the web yet… Or stop back soon… they will be available here in the coming weeks!

 

The weather this week in central PA is going to be beautiful! To enjoy the nice, warm, evening air, I recomend throwing some shrimp on the grill for dinner. Darlene's Fat Free Honey Kissed Pineapple Vinaigrette is delicious on shrimp. It is as simple as pouring some of this yummy Amish dressing into a pan, placing your peeled shrimp in the pan and cooking the shrimp!

While you are doing that on the side burner of your grill, I also recomend slicing some squash and zucchini from your garden and throwing that on the grill. While it is cooking, brush on some Fat Free Honey Kissed Pineapple Vinaigrette! I know this may sound a little funny but it is delicious!

Now doesn't that sound like a wonderful summer dinner? Let us know if you try it and what you think.

Looking for a fun, fresh idea for a summer afternoon lunch? Tired of eating the same old salad with the same old salad dressing? If you need a little something "different" to spice up your same old salad routine, you must try Amos's Raspberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing. Made here local in Amish Country Lancaster, PA, this dressing is sure to transform your salad experience. The color alone will make you want to try this tasty treat!

I enjoyed a salad yesterday for lunch with this delectable Amish dressing. It is sweet and creamy and goes well with crunchy romaine lettuce. I also added some honey roasted sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and croutons. 

If your looking for a fruity, summer dressing for a backyard cookout, your must try Amos's Raspberry Vinaigrette... I promise you and your guests will not be disappointed!
